Book excerpt: In this thesis, the detection of permanent faults in sequential circuits by random testing is analyzed utilizing the circuit partitioning approach together with a continuous parameter Markov model. Given a large decomposable sequential circuit, it is partitioned into several smaller partitions using either serial or parallel decomposition. For each partition with certain stuck faults specified, the original state table and its error version are derived from an analysis of the partition under fault-free and faulty conditions, respectively. Then by simulation of these two tables on a computer, the parameters of the desired Markov model are obtained. For a specified degree of confidence, it is easy to derive the parameters of the Markov model and to calculate the required lengths of random test patterns.
